In the Laundry
Even though you may consider laundry one of your most mundane chores, it is one of the areas that benefit the most from better water quality.
Fewer repair bills. Without exception, all water-using appliances work more efficiently and require fewer repairs with soft water. Even leading appliance manufacturers, such as Maytag, recommend using soft water for optimum product performance. Plumbing lasts longer too, without the lime scale buildup caused by hard water.
Less money for cleaners and detergents. Since soaps and detergents work more efficiently in soft water, you'll only need one-fourth to one-half of the recommended amount. And you'll be able to obtain the same optimum results using shorter wash cycles and cooler water.
Smaller clothing allowance. Clothes last longer and look better when washed with soft water. According to a study conducted at Purdue University, the life of clothing and household textiles was prolonged up to 15 percent when washed in soft water. When detergents mix with hard water, they form lime curd deposits that can cause yellowing or graying of clothes. As the deposits accumulate, they contribute to fabric stiffening and matting.
